Because Wilson believes it to be comforting. That's the great tragedy of his character - he wants to destroy Hell's Kitchen so he can finally bury his father's memory, but inadvertently turns into the man his father wanted him to be.

Last night TNS had on a guest who said that Dhokar Tsarnaev should have a forced sex change and then be repeatedly raped in prison.

Thursday's my night out, and every week I come here and skim the recap.

Chuck's series finale where a prominent character loses their memory. There's a bit where a character watches a video journal that recaps the series that is just devastating in its efficiency.

Here's the problem with TV - once you've built yourself around a gimmick its awfully hard to get rid of that crutch. Often the writers will swear off one particular trope only to double down the very second they have the opportunity.

He was given minor C and D plots for all of six episodes. He's not exactly a well-contoured defined character.

So how could the show have handled this idea better? I think Rainbow being attracted to Andre with him standing up to two guys at a fast food joint to be perfectly in character.

Oddly enough, that was the exact moment when I stopped watching the show. One of the few times i've cut bait at the right moment.

This was an infuriating and enjoyable finale. I was glued to the television screen in a way I never was last year, but the show shies away from any major changes.

"Annalise has shown she has a do-anything-to-win philosophy, but advising
her client to publicly lie about rape is too far of a step into
depravity for the character."

I'm all for taking shows to task for problematic female characters - but the whole "hero is great at work but falls apart due to the wiles of a spouse" have long been codified in the tropes of the male anti-hero too.

There's a moment in one of the Roger Moore films that really captures that sense of inflation. Someone's been poisoned or some such shit, and Roger Moore's Bond waltzes in and declares he knows what rare plant it is. Because Bond is even amazing at fucking botany, for chrissakes.

I went to UBC for a semester, so I'm having fun finding a few places I've been to. I know that Arrow filmed literally every fancy restaurant scene in gastown, which greatly amused me.

People are acting like Michaela's homophobia is somehow a rarity. I've lived on both coasts in traditionally liberal places, and I know plenty of "bisexual" guys who don't dare tell their girlfriends about their past.

It IS creepy how much Jake is gaslighting Olivia just like Fitz did in earlier years. I get that Olivia likes powerful and dominant men, but those scenes used to have a sense of subtlety (Seeing Fitz seduce Olivia in campaign flashbacks sold me on the show).

I got a little verklempt with Fitz's speech and Mellie's breakdown last episode. The politics side of Scandal still works, for me.

Forgot how solid season 1 is, but I'm confused at how large Goliath's clan was. All we see in the first episode is the core cast, but then Hakon smashes the everloving shit out of some red shirt gargoyle in stone we've never seen before. Does the show get around to delving into how many gargoyles were killed at the…

Great set of premiere episodes, but I'm confused at how large Goliath's clan was.

I just vividly remember a scene where Leo wasn't allowed in the room - something to do with terrorism IIRC.

They've shown Cyrus in there too. I remember the West Wing making a HUGE deal that Leo McGarry as Chief of Staff wasn't allowed in - but I'm almost certain that Chief of Staff's have been seen in the room before.
